2005_07_04 017 4x6 For over a year now as we say our prayers, we have prayed that “Grandpa’s cancer will go away”.  I’ve been a little worried as my Father-in-law neared the end of his second round of chemo and we were getting closer to knowing the outcome.  What if it didn’t “go away”?  How would I (we) explain that it wasn’t Lord’s will to our beautiful boys that believe the cancer will go away?

This morning we got the best news possible … Grandpa’s cancer “went away”!  It’s in remission (for now).  I’ve been crying all day as I think about it.  Riley and I woke Neal up to tell him and I interrupted Bryan in his meeting so he would know first thing.  Then the boys and I made sure we took the time to say thanks. 

What a beautiful, glorious day today is!

But, through all the elation our family is feeling, I have some friends in mind who are struggling.  The end is not in sight for them, at this Amber_2point.  Know that it will get better, whatever your struggle is, it will get better.  Hugs to all!

    Our little family has been traveling with his business the past month–just checked in. I do hope things go well with your father-in-law. So glad to hear the cancer is in remission. I’m sure there are many prayers for him.
